Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A pixel unit, comprising at least four sub-pixels, wherein three sub-pixels are polygonal, while the other at least one sub-pixel is disposed in a gap surrounded by the three polygonal sub-pixels; wherein each of the three polygonal sub-pixels comprises a pixel electrode, and the pixel electrodes of the three polygonal sub-pixels jointly drive the sub-pixel located in the gap such that a change of a voltage of any one of the pixel electrodes of any one of the three polygonal sub-pixels will result in a change of the deflection degree of liquid crystal molecules in a region corresponding to the any one of the pixel electrodes, and further a change of a luminance value of the any one of the polygonal sub-pixels, and at the same time, a change of a luminance value of the other at least one sub-pixel disposed in the gap, whereby the luminance value of the other at least one sub-pixel disposed in the gap changes together with luminance values of the surrounding three polygonal sub-pixels.
2. The pixel unit according to claim 1 , wherein the pixel unit comprises four sub-pixels, the sub-pixel located in the gap surrounded by the three polygonal sub-pixels is a yellow sub-pixel or a white sub-pixel.
3. The pixel unit according to claim 2 , wherein the pixel electrodes of the three polygonal sub-pixels are arranged closely.
4. The pixel unit according to claim 3 , wherein the three polygonal sub-pixels are in a same shape.
5. The pixel unit according to claim 4 , wherein the shape of the polygonal sub-pixels is octagonal or heptagonal.
6. The pixel unit according to claim 2 , wherein each of the three polygonal sub-pixels is provided with a thin film transistor, and the sub-pixel located in the gap is provided with no thin film transistor.
7. The pixel unit according to claim 2 , wherein a color filter corresponding to the sub-pixel located in the gap is a white color filter or a yellow color filter.
8. The pixel unit according to claim 2 , wherein the sub-pixel located in the gap is provided with no pixel electrode.
9. A display device, comprising: a plurality of pixel units according to claim 1 arranged closely; and a black matrix, dividing the plurality of pixel units and a plurality of sub-pixels of each of the pixel units, wherein, the black matrix is disposed around each of the sub-pixels.
10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the black matrix is disposed corresponding to a gap between pixel electrodes of the polygonal sub-pixels.
11. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the display device comprises an array substrate and an opposed substrate cell-assembled, and the black matrix is located on the array substrate or the opposed substrate.
12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the array substrate is provided with a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines crossed each other and insulated from each other, and the plurality of data lines and the plurality of gate lines are disposed corresponding to a gap between pixel electrodes of the polygonal sub-pixels.
13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of data lines and the plurality of gate lines are polylines.
14. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein, the opposed substrate or the array substrate is further provided with color filters corresponding to each sub-pixel of each of the pixel units.
15. The display device according to claim 14 , wherein the color filters corresponding to the three polygonal sub-pixels enclosing the gap are respectively a red color filter, a blue color filter, and a green color filter.
16. The display device according to claim 14 , wherein at least one of the color filters corresponding to the sub-pixel located in the gap is a white color filter or a yellow color filter.
17. A driving method of a display device, the display device comprising: a plurality of pixel units arranged closely, each of the pixel units including at least four sub-pixels, wherein three sub-pixels are polygonal, while the other at least one sub-pixel is disposed in a gap surrounded by the three polygonal sub-pixels; and a black matrix, dividing the plurality of pixel units and a plurality of sub-pixels of each of the pixel units, wherein the black matrix is disposed around each of the sub-pixels; wherein each of the three polygonal sub-pixels comprises a pixel electrode; the driving method comprising: jointly driving the sub-pixel located in the gap by the pixel electrodes of the three polygonal sub-pixels, wherein the pixel electrodes of the three polygonal sub-pixels jointly drive the sub-pixel located in the gap such that a change of a voltage of any one of the pixel electrodes of any one of the three polygonal sub-pixels will result in a change of the deflection degree of liquid crystal molecules in a region corresponding to the any one of the pixel electrodes, and further a change of a luminance value of the any one of the polygonal sub-pixels, and at the same time, a change of a luminance value of the other at least one sub-pixel disposed in the gap, whereby the luminance value of the other at least one sub-pixel disposed in the gap changes together with luminance values of the surrounding three polygonal sub-pixels.
